Discovery Channel informs, entertains and inspires its audiences around the world about the wonders of our planet, its diversity and its surprises. Offering millions of people the chance to make new discoveries and satisfy their curiosities, Discovery offers an engaging mix of narratives, across multiple genres: science and technology, exploration, adventure, history and a behind-the-scenes look at people, places and organizations that shape the world we live in.
We are proud to introduce the Discovery line of optical instruments, manufactured by Levenhuk and sponsored by Discovery.
The microscope can also be connected to an external monitor, a TV or a computer. The kit includes all necessary cables. Therefore, you will not need to purchase them separately. A memory card (not included) must be used to save photos and videos. microSD cards with capacities up to 32 GB are supported. The microscope is sold accompanied by computer software that offers various functions, including the measurement of the observed objects. It is possible to measure the radius, the diameter, the angle between three points, the length of a line and much more.
The microscope is powered by AC mains or by the built-in battery, which guarantees up to three hours of autonomy.

Tips for the use of the software.
For the correct functioning of the program, start the installed application only when the microscope is connected to the PC and ready for observations.
Note: The mains voltage in the United States and Canada is 110 V, while in most European countries it is 220–240 V. For information regarding the correct mains voltage, see the specification table. Never attempt to connect a 110V device to a 220V power outlet, or vice versa, without using a voltage converter.
